AD & File server migration (Old to new domain)
-
We are moving out of our parent company ad (eg: ab.com) and setting up a new AD (eg:cd.com). Need to take out one OU that has our users (around 225) and migrate to the new AD. Along with that from the parent file server, only our company data (around 2TB) needs to be moved to a new file server retaining the permission and structure (but on the destination, map it to new users. The username format stays same. [email protected] to [email protected] as an example).
I guess ADMT can be used for AD migration, but not very sure what would be the correct approach for file server migration with ACL mapping.

To keep permissions and structure, robocopy can help you with that.
Are you using roaming profiles and/or folder redirection?
You might want to look into DFS Namespace when setting up your file server.

Thanks but not sure if robocopy can replace permissions as we will be migrating to new domain. DFS is not under consoderation. Ive implemented DFS in my previous company but not here

ADMT will work for your domain users to be moved to the new domain, for the permissions you will be changing all the security manually. Since you have a domain trust that will work for you but security changes will only apply to the new domain accounts which at present you don't have.
